Most routers have a "vpn passthrough" option that is on by default. It may have sub options of pptp, l2tp, ipsec. Otherwise you can block domains in the router as well. Something like .surfeasy.com might work.
That method depends on if the initial connection requires resolving. I suspect it does because I accidentally blocked the opera vpn once with one of the opendns filters - think it was proxies. So that's another option, customize opendns configuration.
Once a vpn or proxy connection is established though, local hosts files and dns settings become irrelevant as they are controlled by the vpn/proxy. So some vpn or proxie that uses an ip number for the initial connection wouldn't be affected by any domain filters.
It's only visual and doesn't actually go in the outgoing message. Do you still want it gone? If so, you'd have to edit mime.css in the styles folder in the installation folder.
To users above, I recognise your problems. Check out my final contribution in the following thread which worked for me, albeit a temporary solution. Good luck.
There's also another omnibox mod on Chrome store but there's a glitch with it. It works but eg. if writing/pasting keywords to address bar it goes to google.com but not straight to search results but to the search bar on google and then one has to press search again. I'm looking to get that fixed.. I'm very active on Github.
Hi. Thanks for the help. If I turn the anti virus off and then turn on the VPN I can then Turn the AV back on and all is OK.
I have not used any other VPN prior to using Opera.
Same issue for me on 46.0.2597.57 (PGO) Windows Server 2008 R2, ATI Radeon x1300Pro (driver v8.383.0.0 (6/13/2007) since ATI doesn't have a a newer driver for this OS).
The issue doesn't occur with Vivaldi 1.10 on the same computer, so issue is probably not video card driver related.
Yes, Flash has finally had its day. It will be remembered as being a major part of the web's history, with most multimedia sites on the web using it. Sites like YouTube depended on it completely for their existence for a very long time, but things have now moved on, and even Adobe have recognised that.
Because of its success and ubiquitousness for so long, Flash was a prime target for exploitation by hackers, and you did get the impression that Adobe were constantly fighting a losing battle to try and keep it secure.
No doubt the hackers will now move on to other potentially vulnerable web technologies, maybe even HTML5, but they won't find such a soft target as Flash again I suspect!
As I said HTML5 seems to work fine for me on Opera 12.18, both on Windows XP and on Windows 10.
